China Glaze Sexy Silhouette

Let me tell you, this little devil of a polish does not like being photographed in the cloudy weather.  Additionally what's up with this picture looking like my bottle is floating?  I'm going to end up on PhotoshopDisasters or something.


China Glaze Sexy Silhouette is from the Fashion Lounge collection but mostly can be found in the Core Colors now at Sally's Beauty Supply.  I picked this up when China Glaze was having a buy 2 get 1 free sale because it was an interesting fuchsia like red with a slight purple shimmer in the bottle.


I used a base of Seche Natural, 2 coats of Sexy Silhouette and a top of Seche Vite.  The formula was good - not too runny or thick but after seeing my nails in the light, it's a bit sheer and not as opaque as I originally thought.  You can see some VNL (visible nail line) on some of my nails.

The sun makes this color almost look matte but I assure you, it's not.  You can also see all the ridges in my nails which I need to buff out.  You also may want to just use a plain ridge filler (there are several on the market).

Indirect sun here - you can start to see the VNL on my first two fingers and you can see a bit of that purple shimmer peeking through.

I felt like taking one picture indoors - I only use 6500K "natural" lights in my house so it most mimics the sun but you can see just a bit more fuchsia here and much more VNL.  Go figure.  Overall a nice color but I liked it better layered over grey.  ^_^
